Would like to know if some one could tell me the duration of these cams as i have been told two different things buy two people in the know. I dont know if one of them was having a bad day or what any help would be tops.

i relise that but which figure do you use when comparing to standard cams and after market cams such as ones from toda, hks.
the difference between the 292/289 and 258/257 is huge and the higher figure not what i asked for.

Your cams are 258/257 in the normal figure. This duration number is the duration at a lift of 0.006" or greater.

HKS/Tomei/Toda/etc should list what their duration is measured at but mostly this duration is measured when lift is 0.050" or greater. This figure for your cams are 218/218
